Super Eagles Face Playoff Hurdle in 2026 WCQ Race
The Super Eagles fail to make the list of runners-up for the playoff in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Despite currently having 11 points, they need to win their last two fixtures against Lesotho and Benin Republic to reach a possible 17 points.
However, with at least four other countries ahead of them in the race for the playoff spot, including Gabon, Madagascar, Burkina Faso, and Cameroon, Nigeria's chances are slim. The Eagles must win their remaining games and hope for other results to go their way to secure a spot in the playoffs.
